Before Buffy and Anita Blake hit it big, reprinted in 2005
Rock band Wanderlust is about to hit it big, guitarist Dave
Kendall is sure of that. They're playing better venues, in
front of bigger crowds-and the people showing up at the
after parties are increasingly good-looking and cool. Some
even radiate power, like "Master" Jeffries, the tall,
saturnine man who seems to have some sort of weird control
over Dave's fellow bandmates.
But Dave's too tired to pay much attention to Jeffries.
He's tired a lot, lately, and making music isn't as much
fun as it used to be. Probably he's just working-and
partying-too hard. Luckily, Dave has a friend who takes what's happening to
him very seriously. Diana Tregarde is a practicing witch
and a Guardian of the Earth. It's her job to keep an eye on
innocents like Dave and make sure they stay out of trouble
and don't become someone's lunch.
Jeffries has been on Diana's hit list since she first
spotted him pursuing a young Romany. Di wasn't fast enough
to stop him, but the Rom have their own protector-a
dashing, charming, very attractive vampire named Andre Le
Brel. Together, the witch and the vampire face Jeffries and his
evil minions in a battle for the soul of rock 'n' roll.
